No Wi-Fi!! Wasn’t working and no one came to fix until we were leaving (weekend).The host was informative and helpful. Kitchen well stocked and furniture was somewhat comfortable. The location was good for getting around the area and close to town. There wasn’t any view from or much light coming into the cottage so it felt quite dark. The bed was a bit soft but linens were clean throughout. The rating of 3 comes from overall lack of cleanliness of the cottage. It needs a deep cleaning. Wash machine looked too dirty to wash clothes in. The overall cottage was very dated. The 12” TV in the BR was a joke. The LR TV was small.

Loved the cottage and location! Property was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed for a very relaxing beautiful stay! Not on the water but extremely close walking distance to path to get to the water and beautiful lake! We rented a canoe close by and were able to put the canoe in the lake easily and paddle around the very quiet and peaceful lake and enjoyed the views! The property manager Tara was excellent and made sure we had everything. Also close to store/market Indian Hill Trading Post to get anything you needed. I highly recommend!

This is the second summer that we have stayed here. It is perfect for us as we have family living near by. The cottage is very clean, and exceptionally well stocked!

Nice location; close enough to town yet far enough away to be quiet. Felt very comfortable and very at-home at Benson Cottage - a great place to unwind and enjoy what Nature and the Moosehead Lake region have to offer. Our host, Tara, was friendly, easy to communicate with and kept the cottage well-stocked and clean. We wanted for nothing. I sure hope we can come back before too long!

Another great stay
As previous years, we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. This property is well maintained and has everything you need for a simple stay. Still no WiFi and weak cell service which I like, but the family complains they have to actually talk to each other. Still a slight smell of moisture in the second bedroom but manageable since the whole area tends to be wet considering the surroundings. Tara is responsive and attentive when needed.

Relaxing at Moosehead
Nice area to just rest and relax after several stressful months of work. The cottage has everything you need and is close to plenty of hiking, fishing, kayaking and swimming.
Special shout out to Northwoods Outfitters for their assist with new kayak racks after mine broke on the trip up.

Relaxation Time
The Benson Cottage is a great place to kick back and enjoy some quiet time. It's close enough to town if you want to check out the shops and get some dinner, but far enough away to still enjoy the Northwoods of Maine.
I will definitely be back
